kmail in 12.04.3 LTS won't start

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

We went through this last july when I first tried to migrate to 12.04 LTS, 
and AFAICR I never got an answer that changed anything then.  And its a 
show stopper for me unless I can figure out how to make claws-mail either 
import or see the kmail, mostly maildir directories.  It does see the 
folders, but they are empty as far as claws-mail is concerned.

The kmail error is
Could not create inbox resourceId:2

Video is close to totally useless here, so I swapped drives and rebooted to 
12.04.3 LTS again, did the full update catchup, hundred files or so, then 
poked around in the prefs and found a color scheme my eyes could tolerate, 
and Oxygen with that over bright cyan halo around everything sure ain't it.

Fired up firefox, all the news site videos I tried to play worked well, so 
that alone makes it worth while to pursue the upgrade.

I had previously copied, back in 7/2013 the full $HOME/Mail tree to the new 
drive thinking that ought to make the new kmail at least run, but while I 
own the whole $HOME tree, its all no permissions or similar.

So what is the next thing to check?  And what the heck IS resourceId: 2 
talking about?

Meaning full English language errors? From kmail?  Donbesilly. :)

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene
